The opening day of practice for the 2026 Isle of Man TT has been cut short, after an incident on the exit of Parliament Square in Ramsey brought out the red flag
The opening day of practice for the 2026 Isle of Man TT was cut short due to an incident in Ramsey, prompting a red flag during the third untimed practice session.
A lengthy delay followed the incident, and it was announced around 4pm that there would be no further track action for the day.
Practice had started smoothly with sessions for the Supersport, Supertwin, and Sidecar classes passing without issues.
However, a red flag during the Superbike and Superstock session halted proceedings, leading to the cancellation of further activities for the day.
This is the second year in a row that TT action on the first day had to be curtailed, with last year’s opening sessions cancelled due to wet weather.
A change in the schedule is anticipated following the day’s events, with updates to be provided by TT organisers in the near future.
